I've got a Fylde Octavious bouzouki which has a scale length of 24.75 inches (approx 63 cms) and I've never been happy with the string gauges. The recommendation for unison (not octave) is something like 46 26 16 10. Redwing strings do a set which is 34 24 15 11. I've experimented with 42 30 15 12 and now 42 30 17 13 which seems to be better balanced in terms of feel (tension) and sound. Does anyone have any advice? Will I rip the bridge off with this set? I used a Windows programme called USTC to help work out the tensions and according to that I'm a bit higher than the recommended set and quite a bit higher than the Redwing set.
